Emma meant so much to me and my family. She was a very special part of out home during some challenging years of my childhood. She did many kid and thoughtful things for me and I cherish the memories of time with her. She made me a beautiful quilt that will always be cherished.
We will miss her! Love, Susan Page Zapatha
